New Dates for the Leesburg Bikefest


Due to Mother's Day falling on the same date that the Leesburg Bikefest is normallly held, the Leesburg Partnership has changed the date for 2011 to be April 8-10, 2011.  The date will resume back to the normal date of the last full weekend in April after this year.  If you have never attended the Leesburg Bikefest, you should check it out as it is, by far, one of the premier events in the Southeast.  The town of Leesburg and the Leesburg Partnership do everything they can to make the event successful.  There are three straight days of music entertainment, bike shows, beauty contests, tattoo expos, and blocks and blocks of vendors.  The Rat's Hole will be back again with many bike shows, and contests.  The headliners for Friday night are Slaughter and Saturday night is Jackyl.  I saved the best part for last.  The entire event is free.  You are not charged one dime to enter the event.  You can check it out at http://www.leesburgbikefest.com/.

Athena "Chickie" Ransom

Athena "Chickie" Ransom is the heart and soul of Vagabond Choppers in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  I had the distinct pleasure of spending a day with her, Don, and family.  Chickie is self taught when it comes to wrenching on bikes but she is apply assisted by her long time friend and husband, Don.  Currently she is on the road with the Chicks Rule, Boys Drool tour which highlights bikes, accessories, and knowledge aimed towards women bikers.  Chickie is as down to earth as it gets and I am glad to have been able to spend some time with her and her family to be able to know them a little better.  You can check out their website at http://www.vagabondchoppers.com/.
